I leave for work, and I miss the whole naming inanimate objects conversation? That's it, I'm not going to work anymore. They'll just have to pay me for not showing up.
Well, I'm going to post my stuff anyway.
I have a spiky plant named Adelaide, a laptop named Lucy (after the "Peanuts" Lucy because she pretends to be my friend until I desperately need her), and a bicylce named Georgia (as in Georgia O'Keefe, because she acts like her). However, I'm thinking about renaming her George, since it's not like me to be riding a girl all day.
"`I grow old... I grow old... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.` What does that mean, Mr. Marlowe?"
"Not a bloody thing. It just sounds good."
He smiled. "That is from the `Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.` Here's another one. `In the room women come and go/Talking of Michael Angelo.' Does that suggest anything to you, sir?"
"Yeah -- it suggests to me that the guy didn't know very much about women."
"My sentiments exactly, sir. Nonetheless I admire T. S. Eliot very much."
"Did you say, 'nonetheless'?"
- The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler
